Voting Power and Political Alternatives

This chapter explores the crucial role of voting in democracy and urges citizens to advocate for meaningful change, particularly in relation to U.S. foreign policy. It critiques the current two-party electoral system and promotes ranked choice voting and the Green Party as viable alternatives, while examining the impact of voter behavior, especially among young and low-income populations. Additionally, the chapter addresses the challenges faced by third-party candidates and emphasizes the need for grassroots initiatives to create a more equitable political landscape.
